Two For The Blood

Ch. 53 Grandfather

Caine’s P.O.V.

         I couldn’t help but overhear what Max told Violet about why he couldn’t defeat Eris before. It made sense now. The look they would give each other when crossing wasn’t of enemies, it was of past lovers. But they were soul blood bonded to each other? I didn’t understand it. I didn’t know gods could have that with one another. You learn something new every day.

         However it was twenty four hours later and Violet was on her period. I heard her again when she quickly went to Leona who conjured some tampons for her. She thanked her kindly before running off to a bathroom. I could smell her through the whole estate. It was totally drugging. Her blood called to me like a siren to the sailor begging him to jump his ship and drown in the sea. I was drowning. If I didn’t need to not breathe already, I would be in the ground by now.

         I walked to the bathroom Violet was in and knocked on the door. “Violet are you ok?”

         “I’m fine!” she snapped and I stepped back.

         “Alright, I’ll just gather everyone in the Meeting Room.”

         “Fine! I’ll be there in a minute!” Her voice was harsh but I just took it as her hormones going into whack because of her monthly cycle.

         Without another word I zipped all over the huge house and got everyone together. By the time the last person walked into the room, violet showed up a minute later and not looking happy at all. She had one hand placed on her stomach and I could feel she was hurting.

         She must have cramps. Maybe we have some Midol around for her.

         It was as if Leona read my mind and handed Violet a bottle slyly. Violet smiled grimly to her and popped the lid. Out came two small pills into her hand and she drank them down with a glass of water Leona gave her too. The witch knew what she was doing. Then again she was a woman.

         “What have we got?” Violet asked and went around the room.

         So far everything sounded good by the time we got to Leona who reported back on Opal, Sky, Hazel, and Pearl. They were gathering their armies and wanted to converse with Violet on when to attack during war. Violet told Leona to get the leaders here as fast as possible.

         “We still however haven’t heard from your mom,” Max stated.

         Violet stood quiet for a moment before ordering, “All of you continue what you have been doing. Perfect our plans, keep training, and don’t lose focus. I’ll be with you in an hour or so.”

         I watched her walk away looking sad. She tried to hurry down the hallway but Max, Leona, and I followed her.

         “Violet!” I called and she stopped, whipped a tear from her eye and faced us with a brave face.

         “Yes?”

         The three of us looked at each other nervous but Leona was the first to speak. “You haven’t heard from your mother at all? No one from Olympus?”

         Violet shook her head and Max explained how he wasn’t even able to teleport into there. “Zeus must have the door closed or everyone is ordered to not come down.”

         “Oh I’m glad I found you!” The four of us jumped and gasped as we saw Hermes.

Violet’s P.O.V.

         I couldn’t believe Hermes was standing in front of me! I hadn’t talked to him since Eric and I had gotten all of our engagement gifts at Eric’s house. From what I saw now of the god he looked a bit stressed but the same with the winged sandals on.
